On a Sacred, Still and Silent Night - SSAA, Piano, Violin
One grey, dreary December day I was sitting at the stoplight, waiting. Into my mind ran a little melody. To pass the time, I started developing that little melody, experimenting with what it would sound like in major. "No, maybe I like it better in minor." Soon it became a being unto itself and then the words came. I couldn't wait to get home to write it down.
Three hours later, "On a Sacred Still and Silent Night" SATB was finished -- complete and beautifully poignant. Three days later it was sung by our college kids just home for the Christmas break. |
